Tales of the Multiverse Bit 87

It's good to be alive again. After hearing the news that Vision is now rebuilt back to life, the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver arrives where they happily reunited with the red-colored android wearing a green cape.

"So, why the hell are we back here in Gensokyou?" Kennedy "Kenny" MacIntosh questioned with an annoyed expression.

It was a nice day as we see Kenny, alongside Blu the Honor, Ruderford "Rudy" Tucker, Alice Margatroid, Stahn Aileron and Rutee Katrea, walking around a place called the Human Village which is located somewhere in Gensokyou.

The Human Village is where most of Gensokyou's humans live. Even though some youkai also visit here to shop, this is the safest place in all of Gensokyou to live. Humans from the outside world that stumble into Gensokyou and decide to stay often have no choice but to live here as they would be unable to handle the youkai outside the village. The village itself has a powerful protector whom is capable of "hiding" the history of the village's existence so that youkai cannot even reach the village, much less attack it.

Currently, the nameless group of unlikely heroes are back in Gensokyou for a recuperation and this not sit well with someone like Kenny. Despite having an android for a body, Kenny's personality and demeanor have not changed one bit, and in fact... it just got worse! Kenny is a lot more angrier, moodier, rude, disrespectful and impatient! Even his relationship with Patchouli Knowledge, whom he is getting along well lately, suddenly turned sour when his personality gotten even worse.

"It's only temporary, Kenny." Blu reassured, "There are matters that we need to attend here in Gensokyou and since we all left in a hurry, a lot of problems occurred because we left these matters unfinished." she explained.

"Can't you just do that after we got our hands on these Curse Maker-bastard?!" Kenny beckoned in annoyance.

"Easier said than done." Alice spoke, "The Curse Maker had the ability to travel all across the multiverse in relative ease and pinning our target's exact location is proven to be difficult." she pointed out, "Neo-City's Heroes Coalitions are doing their best to track our target and once they pinpointed the Curse Maker's location, they'll send us their discovery and then we'll set sail." she explained.

"Then tell them to hurry up!" Kenny egged, "The sooner we get rid of that bastard, the sooner we end this stupid quest!" he declared.

Blu turns around and glared at the short-tempered loser, "Would you please be patient, MacIntosh?!" she demanded in annoyance, "As much as I want to catch the Curse Maker as much as you do, we can't just go around do things recklessly without proper plans!" she reasoned.

"I had a better plan..." Kenny claimed, "... we get back to our ship and resume our search!" he demanded.

"Didn't you hear what Alice just said..." Blu reminded, "... we need to wait until we receive information of our target's whereabouts!" she pointed out.

"Screw that!" Kenny argued.

As Blu and Kenny had a shouting match, Rudy, Alice, Stahn and Rutee watches them in disbelief and annoyance.

"Men... Kenny is really getting into my nerves." Rutee uttered.

"Kenny has always been a pain in the ass but his attitude just gotten worse after dying and getting a robo-body." Stahn commented.

Alice then turns Rudy, "What do you think of Kenny's worsening attitude, Rudy-san?" she inquired.

Rudy sighed, "You'll get used to it." he replied. His face then turns serious, "Though to be honest..." he uttered before pulling out a blank gun and then pointing at Kenny, "... there are times that Kenny's attitude gets into my nerves." he admitted, "And at times like those, I am tempted to blow his brains out." he confessed, "Bang." he quipped while pretending to shoot at the short-tempered loser.

Stahn raised an eyebrow, "Are you serious?" he questioned.

Rudy shrugged his shoulders, "True those thoughts crossed my mind at times but I'm too much of a wuss to do it." he admitted.

Rutee crosses her arms, "Anyway... I think we should stop these two from bickering any further." she beckoned, "People are looking at them." she pointed out.

The others looks around and true to Rutee's words, people are looking at Kenny and Blu arguing, whether it amuses them or it concerns them is up for debate.

Alice nodded, "Right." she uttered.

"Hey!" a voice shouted, "Why the hell are you two having a shouting contest in the middle of the streets?!" the voice questioned.

Everyone then turns around to see Fujiwara no Mokou and another woman walking towards them.

The woman has a pale skin tone, she has a long silver hair with blue highlights and she has brown eyes. She wears a hat that looks like some kind of building with a red ribbon on top and glyphs inscribed along its side. She wears a dark-blue frilled dress with large square-shaped holes at the bottom over a white short sleeved shirt with a red ribbon is tied to the bottom of the collar and puffy shoulders, she wears white socks and black slip shoes with red ribbons. This is Keine Kamishirasawa.

Guardian of the Human Village

Keine Kamishirasawa

"Mokuo-san, Keine-san..." Blu uttered their names.

Kenny let's out a scoff before walking off with hands inside his pockets, coming across a cat along the way which he proceeds to send it flying to the air by kicking it while everyone just watches him go.

Mokou narrowed her eyes, "Geez... the guys weren't kidding that his attitude just gotten worse." she commented.

Blu scoffed, "Just ignore that idiot." she advised.

Keine then turns her attention to Rudy, Stahn and Rutee, "Are these the new faces the people you've been talking about?" she inquired.

"Not all of them but yes." Mokou confirmed.

Rudy then slips next to Keine, "Hey there, sweet cheeks~" he greeted with wiggling eyebrows, "Thy name is Ruderford Tucker." he introduced himself, "But you can call me, Rudy." he beckoned, "Prrrrr~" he purred.

Keine raised an eyebrow, "Uhh... nice to meet you." she greeted back before turning to Mokou, "A flirt?" she inquired.

"A flirt." Mokou confirmed.

"Oh God... not one of these people again..." Keine groaned in disbelief.

"That wound me." Rudy uttered.

Blu then walks towards Keine, "Keine-san... there is something I need to discuss with you." the blue-haired heroine stated.

"What is it, Blu-san?" Keine questioned.

"It's about the creatures that has been attacking Gensokyou lately." Blu answered, "I want to share some details to you, so people would be aware of these threats." she explained.

Keine's face then turned serious, "All right." she complied.

"Hmm... no donations again today... damn it..."

Meanwhile at the Hakurei Shrine, we see Mario and Luigi practicing some of their moves and at the same time, Wario and Waluigi are seen playing a game of badminton while Donkey Kong, Bowser and Kamek watches them.

And as this is going on, we see Reimu Hakurei checking the donation box but only find it to be empty, much to her dismay.

"Maybe those fairies took it while we were gone." Marisa Kirisame said with a grin.

"I doubt those little pests would do something like that." Reimu rebuffed, "If they did though, I'll make sure that they don't get to see the light of another day." she declared.

Marisa chuckled, "I doubt that you'll do something like that, you're too much of a wuss to do it." she stated.

"Uh, buzz off." Reimu scoffed.

Then Aya Shameimaru landed next to them, "Hey girls." she greeted.

"Hey, Aya." Marisa greeted back, "What's up?" she asked.

"I just got back from the Youkai Mountain after publishing my latest article." Aya answered, "Anyway... I would like to conduct an interview with one of the five 'losers' as I wanna feature one of them in my next article." she stated.

Reimu then pointed a finger at Mario's group, "How about interviewing those guys?" she suggested, "They're far more interesting than those 'losers'." she reasoned.

Aya's eyes beamed in delight, "Of course! Why I didn't think of that?!" she exclaimed before flying towards Mario's group, "Thanks, Reimu!" she said.

Marisa crosses her arms, "By the way... where's Greg?" she questioned, "I'm pretty sure he was with us when we came here." she stated.

"I think he went to the forest." Reimu answered, "And for what reason, I don't know." she uttered.

"You think he's gonna be okay?" Marisa asked, "The forest is infested with youkais after all." she pointed out.

Reimu scoffed, "That fat bastard can take care of himself." she replied.

The scene transitions in the forest next to the Hakurei Shrine and here we see Darius Greg sitting under a tree with various foods & drinks surrounding him, eating and drinking without a care in the world.

Meanwhile on a nearby tree, we see a trio of fairies observing the eating-disorder presumed man with mischievous smiles on their faces.

The first fairy has a short red hair braided at the sides of her head with red ribbons, she has blue eyes and as well as a pair of wings. She wears a red and white dress with long sleeves and frills, along with a pink ribbon attached at the top of the dress. She also wears red shoes, as well as a maid headband between her braids. This is Sunny Milk.

The second fairy has red eyes and has yellow hair which is arranged into six princess curls on both sides of her head, and as well as a pair of wings. She wears a white and black dress having long sleeves and a few black ribbons at the front of her dress, along with a big one below her neck and an even bigger one in her back. She also has a white shoulder cloth having black outlines, and a white beret with black ribbons attached on its sides. She wears a pair of slippers as well. This is Luna Child.

The third fairy has a long brown hair with a blue ribbon attached to it, she has yellow eyes and as well as butterfly-shaped wings. She wears a white and blue dress, the top part being mostly white, having a blue shoulder cloth, and the bottom part being blue. She has long sleeves and a blue piece of cloth attached around her waist, attaching as a ribbon in her back. She also wears boots. This is Star Sapphire.

These trio of fairies are collectively known as the Three Fairies of Light whom are known for causing mischief to humans by playing pranks on them using their powers.

"Woah... that guy sure eats a lot." Sunny commented.

Luna chuckled, "I wonder if he'll explode if he eats too much." she mused.

"I got an idea!" Star announced, "Let's scare him to death and see how fast he can run with all that fat in his body." she beckoned.

Sunny grinned, "I'd love to see that." she accepted.

"I bet he'll become skinny from all the running once we scared him off." Luna mused before looking back down only to find Darius gone, "Hey! Where did that guy go?" she questioned in surprise.

Star took noticed of it as well, "Huh? But he was just sitting there a minute ago?!" she pointed out.

"He was." a new voice joined in.

The three fairies flinched when they heard a voice that they don't recognized, they slowly turns to their right and to their shock and horror, Darius is seen sitting next to them with a rather demonic expression.

"Hey there." Darius greeted, "Nice to eat you." he furthered.

Meanwhile back in the Hakurei Shrine, Aya is seen interviewing Mario and Luigi while Reimu and Marisa seems to be having an argument when all of a sudden, everyone heard a trio of blood-curling screams, much to their surprise.

This was followed by Sunny, Luna and Star flying out of the forest, tackling Reimu down to the ground and hugging her for dear life, much to the shrine maiden's annoyance and Marisa's amusement.

"What the hell is wrong with you three?!" Reimu exclaimed, "Get off me, you brats!" she demanded.

"Help! Help! He wants to eat us!" Luna cried out in panic.

Marisa raised an eyebrow, "Who wants to eat you?" she questioned.

Sunny then pointed a finger at the forest, "That creepy guy over there!" she answered.

Everyone then turned their heads towards the forest and on cue, Darius steps out with a fork and knife in hand, his eyes are red and his mouth is sporting a manic grin.

"Awesome! You caught my lunch!" Darius cheered, "I've always wonder what fairies taste like." he shared, "And now... I'm finally getting my chance." he declared.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" everyone present at the shrine screamed in horror afterwards.

The Scarlet Devil Mansion, also referred to as the Scarlet Manor or Scarlet Mansion, is a European-style mansion owned by Remilia Scarlet which is located on a ridge on the edge of the Misty Lake.

In the living area, we see Remilia and Patchouli Knowledge sitting on a green-colored couch while Sakuya Izayoi serves them tea.

"So, how are things going on between you and Mister MacIntosh?" Sakuya questioned.

Patchouli sighed, "It's not getting any better." she answered, "I understand that he is still agitated of losing his original body but his temper is getting a lot worse and he seems on the edge as of late." she stated, "Getting an android body didn't help things either." she added.

Remilia took a sip of her tea, "I say that you stay away from him for now, Patchy." she advised, "With his current attitude problems, it'll be a matter of time before he explodes into another fit of rage." she stated when she realized something, "Speaking of exploding..." she uttered, "I'm surprised that guy survived after playing the game of 'tag' with Flandre." she commented.

"Mister Heyman seems to have a rather indestructible physique despite his child-like mindset." Patchouli commented, "And add his rather unlimited stamina, it's no wonder he could keep up with Miss Flandre." she furthered.

"It makes me question if he is truly human to begin with." Sakuya uttered.

Remilia took a sip of her tea, "Whatever the case, I'm just glad that Flandre someone to play with." she admitted, "Someone ain't easy to kill." she added.

Meanwhile in another room somewhere inside the mansion, we see Helmsley "Helmz, Helmet" D. Heyman and Flandre Scarlet sitting by a small tea table, the two are currently having a snack after playing a game of 'tag'.

"I really, really, really had fun playing with you, Helmet!" Flandre cheered.

"Me too." Helmet replied, "What did we do again?" he asked.

Flandre sighed, "I really wish I can play with other people as well but big sis won't let because of reasons I don't know." she lamented.

Helmet stares at her silently for a minute before speaking, "You wanna know how to make more friends?" he inquired.

Flandre perked up, "Um... yes?" she answered in confusion.

Suddenly, red circles and a rather sinister-shaped mouth appeared on the visor of the helmet-wearing loser, a face something Flandre had never seen on him before. Justified since she had never seen his 'real' face to begin with.

"Then I shall teach you my ways of making friends." Helmet declared, "Hehehehehehehehe~" he chuckled rather evilly.

Flandre stares at him for a minute when her face turns dark and leaving a pair of scary white-circular eyes & a sinister-shaped mouth, "Hehehehehehehe~" she then chuckled alongside the loser.

As the two continues to chuckle evilly, the door of Flandre's room open as Hong Meiling and Gino Samuels peeks their heads inside, "Helmet, Flandre, we need you to-" the latter tried to say the but the two were greeted by the sight of something evil which unnerves them greatly, the two slowly backs out with Meiling closing the door, the two then looks at each other while wondering what's going on.
